CP Violation in B Decays Vivek Sharma University of California at San Diego this is a test where do these notes get displayed? Vulcano Workshop 2006
From Cosmos To Quarks ! The universe is now matter dominated: where has all the primordial anti-matter gone? Anti-proton/proton ratio ~10-4 in cosmic rays; no evidence for annihilation photons from intergalactic clouds Sakharov conditions (1967) for generation of cosmological asymmetry: Baryon number violation, e.g., proton decay Thermal non-equilibrium Violation of C, CP discrete symmetries CP Violation seen in Particle decays What, if any, is the connection between CP violation in the cosmos and the CPV in subatomic systems ?
CP Violation In Subatomic Systems CP Violation first discovered in the Kaon system Kaon system has been the playground of CPV model-building (and model-killing ) since discovery (1964) Kobayashi & Maskawa’s proposition (1973) of CPV in the context of the complex weak couplings of 3 generations of quarks consistent with observed CPV in the Kaon system (postdiction!) But hadronic uncertainties in the Kaon system makes clean interpretation of CPV in terms of SM or New Physics difficult B mesons are the “new” & theoretically clean laboratory for investigation of CP Violation within SM & Beyond Standard Model Two dedicated experimental efforts: PEP-II Collider & BaBar detector in California KEK-B Collider & Belle detector in Japan

CP Violation CP violation can be observed by comparing decay rates of particles and antiparticles The difference in decay rates arises from a different interference term for the matter vs. antimatter process. Analogy to double-slit experiment: source Classical double-slit experiment: Relative phase variation due to different path lengths: interference pattern in space
CP Violation Is a Quantum Phenomenon CPV is due to Quantum interference between > two amplitudes Phases of QM amplitudes is the key Need to consider two types of phases CP-conserving phases: don’t change sign under CP (Sometimes called strong phases since they can arise from strong, final-state interactions) CP-violating phases: these do change sign under CP transformation (originate in the Weak interaction sector)
Definition of CP Asymmetry To extract the CP-violating phase from an observed CP asymmetry, we need to know the value of the CP-conserving phase difference B system: extraordinary laboratory for quantum interference experiments: many final states, multiple “paths” Lots of channels for CP Violation
The CKM matrix & its mysterious pattern (Wolfenstein parametrization) The SM offers no explanation for this numerical pattern. But SM framework is highly predictive: Unitarity triangle: (Col 1)(Col 3)* =0 etc. Only 4 independent parameters: A, l, r, h One independent CP-violating phase parameter
